"Already a legend in his own right, with ‘The Book of the Dead' Kihachiro Kawamoto has created an intricately detailed magnum opus, a summation of themes explored in all of his work: the transience of existence, the ambiguity of human behavior and the search for perfection and beauty in an imperfect world….Kawamoto's puppet films are violent, erotic and disturbing, yet this film shines out above all for its complexity, depth and humanity."
